MG Prestige Pro vs Midplus

I have read the many good posts and reviews on the Microgel Prestige lineup and as a long time Prestige lover, and current FXP Prestige MP user, I am wondering how people compare the Pro v MP since the frames have been out for a couple of weeks. I am looking for a direct comparison if possible because I like the idea of an open pattern Prestige option and even liked the low swingweight of the Pro and spin capability but it would be interesting to hear what others experiences were when demoing both. I enjoyed the MP for different reasons (more heft, slightly more control). I only had a brief time to hit with each stick and might give one of them a longer term tryout. I have a relatively flat all court game with 2H backhand at about 4.0-4.5 level.

Like I said, in the next 6 months to a year all we are going to hear on this forum is the new Head Pro Vs the New C10 pro, Head is going to take away fans from C10 pro users IMO. It is light open pattern yet stable

I thought that the Pro version was light for a Prestige frame (swingweight wise) but it seemed surprisingly stable. It took a while to get used to a) the LOW swingweight..it felt like it was under 310) b) the open string pattern and c) the headlight balance.

After playing it a while though I really started to like the spin generation and maneuverability of the stick. While it still didn't feel like a "Prestige" it is a very good frame. Consistent kick serves, good control, lively stringbed, and nice volleys. I think that the MP version of the MG Prestige is meant for a different animal - more control, more stability, less power. I guess it depends on what you are looking for to help your game. Like Michael Chaho said; the Pro version lends itself nicely to different string setup variations. I am looking into that myself.

Pro Tour 630 mentioned that the MG Prestige Pro was sensitive to string setups and during the past several weeks my doubles partner has taken quite a liking to this frame. What have some of you done to customize your Pros? A little lead on the hoop; have you found a nice string setup? Any recommendations are welcome as he is looking for just a tad more pop from the frame. Currently he is using NRG 18g @ 58 lbs. with no lead anywhere (yet?). Thanks

I demo'd both and ended up buying the MP. The pro was okay, but to me, felt sluggish compared to the MP. I'd say it hit a tad heavier ball, but the control just wasn't there like with the MP. Also, I compared the Pro to another 16x19, 98sq" frame that I have (Yonex RDS002 Tour). Basically, the Yonex outshined the MG Prestige Pro in swing speed, weight of shot and touch (including volleys). I'm sure the strings may have had something to do with it, but again, I ended up sticking with the 18x20 and am glad I did.

The pro has more power, is heavier and and generates spin easier. The midplus is a tad lighter, more maneuverable (more headlight) and more control oriented. In fact, the MP basically has insane control but if you want to build your game around power and need even only a small bit of help from your frame the MP will not be of use to you. The player must supply every drop of power with the MP.
